Re: Sort lines and kill duplicates
You can make it far faster if you don't take care of style attributes at all. Actually I was wondering about this too. But what part of the macro takes care of the style attributes? The slow part of the macro is the loop which assembles the $output string. Timing individual bits of the macro, the &...

Re: Sort lines and kill duplicates
Err... if we were competing in a car race... Actually my point is that if we were competing we (apparently) shouldn't bother with all this hash business. The "bullet count" version I posted earlier is much faster. Your version timed to 292 seconds on my machine on the 6000 line file. The ...

Re: Sort lines and kill duplicates
Now I see it. Of course the keys of the hash are an array. So they can be sorted.
You're version does have some improvements over the version that I was experimenting with. But testing it on a file with a bit less than 6000 lines, this approach is markedly slower than the Find and Replace version.

Re: Sort lines and kill duplicates
Kino's approach is the one that I would have used too, but there is one important difference between js's macro and Kino's. js's macro counts the number of lines as well. Here is one way to extend Kino's approach to counting lines. Select All :Edit:Sort Paragraphs:Ascending (A-Z) Find and Replace ‘^...

Re: Table Selection
Thanks Martin, Kino, for the comments. I deduced that this was the behavior, but now I have peace of mind as well! As far as the description goes, since it is a technical reference I think precision trumps verbosity, but if you're worried about verbosity you could drop the either making it: If range...

Table Selection
The macro reference says the following: TableSelection.new tableObject, [rowRangeObject], [columnRangeObject] v1.1 Returns a new selection describing a cell region within the given table. Both Range objects must be in-bounds for the table or an error will be displayed. If either range is not provide...

average column macro
The macro to average columns states that "empty cells are not counted so they do not affect the average, but cells with a zero in them are counted and they do affect the average". My tests show me that if the cell contains contains "0." or "0 " the behavior is as specif...

Re: Entering formated text into a Find Replace macro
With an open file I would like to use a macro to find any text in Courier (if there is any) and replace it with Times. This seems simple and the Macro Find language has the u and U for considering attributes. But how can I enter ".+" with font attributes into Find and Replace? (You can of...
